Built for hard work in cool weather, our insulated All Seasons Hemp Canvas Vest provides warmth and protection for the core while allowing full freedom of movement through the shoulders and arms. Tough-wearing but lightweight enough for layering, it’s made from a 9.6-oz 55% industrial hemp/27% recycled polyester/18% organic cotton blend that feels broken-in while offering the durability, comfort and breathability needed for long hours on the job. One of the world’s strongest natural fibers, the hemp content provides remarkable durability; the recycled polyester and organic cotton provide a soft drape and allow a tighter weave for increased abrasion resistance. The interior of the vest has a smooth, 100% recycled polyester taffeta lining that wicks moisture and glides easily over layers when you’re in motion; a compressible layer of 60-g Thermogreen® 100% polyester (92% recycled) insulation provides warmth even on damp days. The sturdy main zipper has an oversized pull for easy operation with work gloves or cold hands; the rib-knit collar protects your neck from sun or wind; and a drop-tail hem provides additional coverage when you’re working close to the ground. The pocket lowdown includes a zippered vertical-entry security pocket on the left chest; a large drop-in pocket with a pencil sleeve on the right chest; two lower front handwarmer pockets with brushed tricot lining; and a large lower-back pouch with vertical-zip entry for gloves, hat or other essentials. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.

To accommodate a wide range of movement and layering, our Workwear styles have a generous cut. The pants fit true to waist size but are roomy through the legs. The jackets are bigger than most of our styles—especially around the shoulders and back. Folks who have a leaner build or don't wear multiple layers might want to order one size smaller than usual.

Hemp

Hemp is an alternative natural fiber that’s cultivated with low impact on the environment. It requires no irrigation or synthetic fertilizers, and is harvested and processed by hand. It’s one of the most durable natural fibers on the planet, and results in a fabric with a wonderful drape, comparable to linen.

Unfortunately, industrial hemp is illegal to grow in most parts of the world because government agencies continue to associate it with marijuana. We currently import our high-quality hemp from China, and continue to hope that it might someday grow freely again.

Patagonia makes garments with hemp alone or blended with other fibers like recycled polyester, organic cotton and spandex.

Organic Cotton

In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.

The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it’s worth it.

To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA’s National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
